DEKALB, Ill. -- Brenton Scott heated up down the stretch and hit two big 3-pointers at the end of the regulation and at the start of overtime but it wasn't to be as the Sycamores dropped a nail-biter of a season opener at Northern Illinois, 80-78 in front of 1,565 fans inside the NIU Convocation Center on Friday night.
ISU dropped its season opener to fall to 0-1 while NIU begins their campaign with a victory and are now 1-0. The Sycamores and Huskies will have a rare non-conference rematch on November 30 inside Hulman Center.
